The support staff at Roslyn Greenvale Veterinary Group will strive to make your visit as enjoyable as possible for both you and your pet. Our staff is selected because of their genuine affection for animals and their interest in providing the best care possible. Our receptionists will do their best to accommodate your scheduling needs and answer your questions. Should your pet need treatment, hospitalization or surgery, our veterinary technicians will help perform diagnostic tests, administer medications, and provide compassionate care. During your pet's boarding or hospitalized stay, our kennel staff will provide both companionship and excellent care for your animals. If your pet requires grooming, our master groomer will provide a "day at the spa" for your pet. Our hospital would not be able to run without the hard work and dedication of these individuals.
Below you will find short biographies of our staff. They have all been written with staff input, and you can see our sense of humor in some of them!

other animal's food, drinking running water from the faucet, and being underfoot.
Mr. Lawrence - Lawrence joined the Roslyn Greenvale staff approximately 4 years ago. His official title is Staff Psychologist/Masseuse.
